Paywalled.

Yes. But the Trump administration (and their actions) are highlighting the danger for some people who have been completely ignoring this as a problem.

How will the websites know to respect the users preference for six months?

This is a threat. They know that they’re using the stock market to fund their greed and that anyone with savings tied up there (Retirement funds that are invested in the market) will be on the hook. Plus the tax payer money they’re going to ask for because they’re “too big to fail”.

Well. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

Ford also can’t keep the ones they already have, so that’s a thing.

Probably.

Did something. All my personal computers are on Linux. But my work laptop? Still windows. Even finally got the upgrade to windows 11. And I hate it. So yes. I’m going to complain.

Sigh. Getting real tired of windows 11 doing BS in the background that presents a security risk.

Nobody asked for this Microsoft.

Your vacuum doesn’t go under furniture more than likely so to clean under there you quit being a janitor to become a furniture mover?

I guess it’s turtles all the way down.

The populace can’t track police, but police can track the populace. Sounds like BS.

Explains the error messages I just got.

A fair assesment. Except that you have to (and should be) cleaning the upright vacuum as well. Vacuum fires are no joke.

Yeah. I’ve got an 870 that’s still cleaning. It gets stuck under furniture and needs to be rescued at least once a week, and last week it lost its ass dustbin somehow mid clean, but it’s still kicking.

I don’t use my PS5 to surf the web. I know you can use it to watch movies and stuff, but I don’t use it for that either.

At best, it depends on what kind of user most of the console owners are.

Yep. I have been suspended twice for fighting. In both cases the other person hit me first. The first time it happened I didn’t even realize somebody had thrown a punch and had no time to even defend myself. The second time I did defend myself, but it literally involved pushing the person away.

In both cases the school administration did not care and my parents went up to the school to make complaints.

It’s bullshit, but this is exactly the problem. Schools have zero tolerance policies to protect themselves rather than to protect students.

Sigh. This article is all over the place.

The headline suggests that payment processors/AI companies/retailers are fighting about the collection of shopper data.

AI obviously doesn’t collect the kind of data that would be useful to the retailers or even the payment processors. So it does stand to reason that the retailers would be a little miffed about “agentic AI” insinuating itself as the middle man between them and shoppers, effectively cutting them off from that data flow.

But that’s not actually what’s happening. It seems like (potentially), the AI companies want to sell “agentic AI shopping” to the retailers and possibly payment processors? But these entities want information about the shoppers that the AI doesn’t collect and the quibble is over whether the AI can be made to collect that data?

On the other hand I own 3 different raspberry pi’s. One for Home Assistant, one for Pihole, one for booting the server computer when I’m not home if I want to stream a movie from my library.

I was able to overclock it to a crazy level. Played all kinds of games on it between me and my roommate. It was finiky using big picture mode (I ended up buying a dedicated mouse and keyboard for it to use on a lapboard at the time), but BPM gave me trouble with controllers, refusing to quit to desktop, and hanging on launching games occasionally.

A lot of Dell’s BS software went the way of the dodo bird as soon as I could get rid of it for similar reasons. The update to windows 10 I also seem to remember giving me trouble. MS didn’t consider it supported hardware. But it all worked out and now that thing is my media center PC. It’s still running after all this time, which is crazy.

As someone who owned the Alienware one with windows 8 (and upgraded it to windows 10, and a 2TB SSD), I’m glad to find anyone else who actually bought one, especially the steam OS variant, and has expertise with it, rather than regurgitating what articles say.
